Fort MILL, November 2S.-General
Greedy has notified us of a great fall in
temperature, and it seems to be coming on
fast. He is a clever officer and deserves
thankful commentator at the peoples
hands for his reliable information. Under
his administration "Old Probabilities" has

What fallen off; but it is sad to chronicle
the death of Mrs. Lula Warren, wife of our
section master and daughter of our es-
teemed fellow-citizen IT. d. Faulkner, who
died at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. She
was highly respected, and was a good
member of the Presbyterian church.
Thanksgiving day was ushered in by
rapid discharges of small arms and Roman
candles. Several target matches tested the
skill of the rifle corps and the cartridges
suffered terribly before the deadly aim OF
relentless marksmen.
I During the day several hands came from
Rock Hill and took Quarters with the Fort
Mill manufacturing company. The ma
chinery for this factory is now being re-
ceived and placed in the dyeing and dry
ing rooms.
Another interesting event came to pass
on that day. A number of the Presbyte-
rian congregation here, not having the
fear of man before their eyes and instiga-
ted by some mysterious impulses, forcibly
and premeditatedly gave our worthy and
beloved pastor, Rev. j.. II. Thornwell,
such a pounding as he and his family will
not soon recover from. To outsiders this
may seem objectionable; but such is the
demeanor of this people that they have
repeated the act for several years past.

market being rear the topmost notch. A
car load of the feecy staple was shipped,
last week, directly to Liverpool therefore

Some of our enterprising ladies got up a
hot supper at the Academy, on last Fri
day night, and realized a considerable sum
to buy furniture for the Presbyterian
church.
The Messrs. Watson are now building a
new shop, for wood and blacksmith work,
which is to be occupied by Messrs. Young

also build a frst-class livery stable. Both
these establishments will be convenient to
the depot, and for the travelling public.

THE ATLANTA ELECTION.

ATLANTA, Ca, November 2S.-The cleo
ton to decide whether bar-rooms should
or should not be brought back to this city
was held on Saturday last and resulted in
a whisky victory by 1922 majority. Ev-
cry precinct in the county voted for whisky
with the exception of one, which gave
prohibition a majority of only 43.
Considering the intense enthusiasm of
the good people of Atlanta and their un-
limited confidence in the success of this
great moral movement, the blow, as might
be supposed, fell heavily upon them: They
are, however, not in a state of despair.
Already they have begun making prepa-
rations for another great battle to last two
years and be decided at the next election.
The Prohibitionists have nothing to be
ashamed of in Saturdays work. Neither
have the whisky men anything of which
to be proud. Of this fact, however, the
Anti Prohibitionists are of course inditfer-
ent, for any man, who, after witnessing
the great good resulting from the expul-
sion of bar-rooms from this city during
the past two years, and still has a desire
to see them brought back, has no con-
science upon which the sting of remorse
can work. Everylow expedient that could
be dredged from the filthy depths of hu-
man depravity was applied on Saturday,
and as the Prohibitionists could not de-
scend to this, of course they were defeated.
DR.. Hawthorne, in his sermon yesterday,
drew the following smile which your cor
respondent takes the liberty of interpret
ing as having reference to those who are
in favor Of whisky: -.
"There are a great many kinds o. happi-
ness, my brethren. The difference be-
tween the lowest and highest is just the
difference between earth and Heaven.
Man is an animal. He has animal in
stincts and passions. We have many
pleasures in common with animals. 1t is
a pleasure to breathe-to 60 out and take
in the ozone of Gods pure, free air. 1t is
a pleasure to drink. 1t is pleasure to eat.
We are capable of such pleasures; but these
are, my friends, pleasures on the very
lowest plane. The toad can breathe, the
toad can drink, and the toad can fill him
self with mud and sit upon a log and croak,
and croak-'more mud, more mud There
are some people in this world whose ideas
of pleasure are a little better than those of
the toad. They are mere animals"

with tbs subscription rate of attending schol-

NOT A KNIGHT OF LABOR.

Our Blacks Station correspondence, last
week, contained the following paragraph:
Karl Haas and associates are endeavoring to
organize Knight of Labor lodges among the
negroes in this community and at other points.
If the purpose of such organizations is good,
why are not the Intelligent white people So
licited to join them, and consulted about the
propriety of such secret organizations? am
han filling the Golfers of the organizers with
filthy lucre, connected with this movement.
Since the publication OF the above we have
received a letter from Karl Haas, in which he
says he hopes we will be so kind as "to correct
the false report at once;'' and knowing nothing
of the facts we cheerfully give him the bene-
fit of his denial.

LETTER FROM CHESTER.

Ephraim Dennis, colored, died at this
place on last Wednesday afternoon, from
a wound inflicted by Henry Adams, COL
ored. Becoming involved in a quarrel on
the Saturday previous Adams struck Den
mis- with a piece of wood On the back part
OF the head, producing conclusion of the
brain and finally death. Dennis was I'M
der the influence of liquor, and by his
threatening manner caused Adams to give
the blow which resulted so unfortunately.
They are both railroad employees on a ma
terial train.
Orange Robson, colored, a convict en-
ployed in grading the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern Railroad, was shot on last
| Wednesday by M of the guard for at
tempting to escape. The wound proved
fatal in a few hours. Robson was from
Edgefeld county.
Patrick Macoy, a brother of the late G..
c.. Macoy, died at his plantation in this
county on last Wednesday. He lived here,
but going to his plantation took suddenly
ill and died. He inherited the large es-
tate left by his brother, G.. c. Macoy, but
he has fallen into the grave before time
wa given him to enjoy it.
William Kitchens, while in an intoxica-
ted condition last week, endangered the
life of a lady on the public road, by some
wild shooting. She heard the whiz of
the bullets as they passed her head. He
was arrested and committed to Jail to
await trial at the next term Of the court.
Henry Adams. who struck Ephraim
Dennis with a stick of wood on the back
of the head, causing death in a few hours,
was unsuccessful in his attempt to escape.
He was arrested in Gastonia, was brought
back to this place and is now in Jail. He
iustifes his assault on Dennis on the
ground that he was afraid of him.
/ hear that over 5000 bales of cotton
have been bought at Blackstock's during
the present season. This does very well
for our neighboring town. According to
my information about 1000 bales have
been bought at LoWrysville.
The preliminary examination OF the
"Regulators' did not come off last Satur-
day according to appointment. A big
crowd was at Wilksburg to hear the tes-
timony of the prosecution. Trial Justice
Byers, the prosecuting witness and the law
yers engaged in the case were present, and
everything appeared to be in readiness for
the preliminary hearing, but it did not
take place. Mr.. Paul Hemphill, the coun-
sci for the prosecution, in consequence of
some defect in the warrant, withdrew it.
Another warrant for the arrest of the
same parties will be issued this week by
Trial Justice Leckie.

GRADED SCHOOLS RECOMMENDED.

In his annual report to the Legislature,
Col. James H. Rice, State Superintendent
of Education, among other recommends
tons, embodies the following:
The passage of a general law allowing
the taxpayers of leach school district an
nually to vote such tax on themselves as
will give a ten months school and free
tuition to every child"
In support of this recommendation, Col.
Rice makes the following interesting state
ment:
Every many communities have now
special districts, and many more willknock
at your doors yearly for such privileges.
Many do not come because it is rouble-
some to frame the special Act. There
should be a general statute, and under
this ali school districts should be organ
lied. This would simplify the situation.
BY combining this privilege to taxpayers,
there can be no danger. Look at Charles
ton, with her magnificent schools and her
large annual appropriation. The pride OF
the city is that every child in her limits
can have first-rate common school training.
This beautiful capital, Columbia, is draw
ing citizens from the surrounding counties
to enjoy the benefits of her graded schools.
It is not amiss to say that every legislator
will be welcomed to inspect them daily.
Greenville, after one years trial, votes
eighteen thousand dollars for school build
ings. This, in addition to her annual
special and general tax. Winnsboro' vim
dicates her ancient reputation by spend
ing ten thousand dollars last year on
school buildings. Chester's graded school
hourishes. Rock Hill, famous for COM
mercial and social integrity, voted ten
thousand dollars for buildings and a special
tax before the smoke had lifted from her
burned storehouses. Bennettsville and
Marion have spent more than five thou
sand dollars each for buildings during the
last twelve months, and Florence is pre-
pairing to lodge her first-rate schools in
similar style. Georgetown, in spite of her
difficult surroundings, is rebuilding her an
Gent shrines, one of the first and most lib
eral foundations for common school train
ing in our States history. Bamberg
comes to the front with an elegant new
school building, and Barnwell claims to
have the most complete model for a house
and the best graded schools in the State.
Johnston's, Martins and Seneca City have
advertised free tuition to every child, and
secured frst-class teachers. I omit others
for want of space. But this development
is marvellous, and emphasizes the fact
that South Carolina demands a general
law. Our people ask that they be allowed
to form their districts under a wise and
liberal Act. They are not all lawyers, and
they have neither the taste nor the time
to frame special Acts when they desire to
build up their schools. They need some
thing clear, plain and easily operated,
ready to their hand. They do not ask you
to tax them, but they simply say, give
US an Act that will allow us to tax our
selves. The passage of such a statute will
make the system coherent and prevent
constant difficulties in its WI execution"

Immediately after assembling, the men,

fore them, applied themselves at once,
and the published daily reports indicate
that they have already accomplished a
great deal in clearing up the calendars of
unfinished business left over at the close OF

sage is an admirable document, a COM

RAILROAD NOTES.

Contractors are taking advantage of thefavor-
able weather for their work and are now MAX
ing the most of it. Besides the fact that work
is progressing favorably all along the line,
from Blacks to Grannis Creek Quarter, little
more can be said. At Grannis Creek is the
heavy cut which is delaying the track layers,
and to hasten the completion of the cut loco
motives and fiat cars are used for moving the
dirt. 1t is estimated that the work OH this cut
will be completed in from twenty to thirty
days, when track laying can proceed to Lam
caster without interruption.
